Tossing and Turning* can be a Good thing*

Do you ever feel exhausted because you tossed and turned all night on each side of the bed, you wake up with a horrific headache, and don't want to get out of bed? Well, I did. I finally got out of bed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Wow, it was a beautiful day outside that God created. I ate my oatmeal while reading my daily devotion and then looked up, there was a beautiful humming bird right outside my window eating from our unfruitful orange tree. I never even realized that there was little white blossoms on that tree. It was then that I felt God's love and presence.

Sometimes when pain or exhaustion get us down,

God is there to show us that he does love us.

God uses what he created, to show us he loves us.

Miracles Still Happen*

Miracles still happen!!! It looked impossible!!

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I have had my share of jaw and other chronic health problems and pain. I have been to many doctors and specialists. I believe I have been seen by 6 jaw, maxillofacial doctors in the last several years. I have had my jaw manually moved through the help of splints and braces, have had trigger point injections, ultrasounds, steroid shots, electricity shot in my jaw, physical therapy and this is just to name a few. So yes, I know most of the maxillofacial doctors in the areas within two hours from where I live within my insurance company.

Several things I realized is that my jaw hasn't been getting better and some of it has to do with traveling. After I travel to another city, get my 15 minutes to an hour of jaw treatment, then I would travel back home. By the time I arrived home, I was in more pain than when I started.

After much prayer from all of my friends and family, I called my insurance company and they immediately had a case manager go before the insurance company on my behalf. They approved for me to go to one of the best Maxillofacial specialist, closer to home, and it is not one of the insurance company's doctors. She said that the insurance co. agreed to pay all of the costs, out of pocket, and that they will totally eat the cost. She said that this normally doesn't happen. She sounded shocked too. I told her I had a lot of people praying for me. She continually said, "something happened, because they don't normally approve this especially for a maxillofacial specialist."

I was and still am excited. Thankyou God...I know the treatments may be painful, but I thank you in advance for this "Insurance" Miracle. It is totally a God thing!!!

Slimy green* at A Housesitting Adventure*

Slimy Green Is NOT my Favorite Color

I had the pleasure of house sitting in a quiet neighborhood these last couple of days. I won't mention where it was, because It wouldn't be wise to give a person's address away...
It was a beautiful place, even the outside seemed nicely landscaped. Everything was great, until...the sky turned to night and all I could hear was:
Ribbit, ribit, Ribbit
Everytime I closed my eyes to go to sleep, all I saw in my mind's eye were frogs; luckily I couldn't physically see them and all I heard was ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. The first night I dreamed about frogs, snakes, lizards, and other yucky stuff I don't like.

One night , as I was eating my nice piece of baked chicken, all I could think about were frogs. Well they were still making those crazy ribit sounds. While chopping on the chicken, all of a sudden, I realized the chicken on my plate was in the shape of a frog. I pondered about that as I was still chewing and listening to the frogs. I then lost my appetite as I thought of myself chomping on a frog leg. Yuck... I decided to give my chicken to the cat (with the owner's permission of course.)
